    We're missing a bit on the ankle nibbling here. Eccles has done it well, but need more doing it.

    According to the stats, Middlesboro have had more shots than us. Can't recall them having many.

    Two obvious fouls ignored in the past 2 minutes. Strange, as the ref did well 1st half.

    I hope that Gus and Vik going allow others to flourish - Godden can actually be a goalgetter rather than just a distraction, and Eccles and Sheaf may just have a bit more freedom to express themselves. Perhaps the sum can be greater than the parts.

    For my sins, I went on the Sunderland forum to see what they thought of Simms, and the more reasonable amongst them pointed out that his body language and posture don't reflect well on him or his ability - suspect the comparions to Tyler Walker being lazy will be thrown out sooner rather than later.

    Agree, but with the caveat that it's still early days for Thomas to be considered better than McNally.

    Michael Carrick likes writing in his little notebook. Suspect he's doing a Paul Ince.

    Back 3 / 5 look a lot better than the version we had at the start of last season.

    I think MvE could grow into my new hero. Loving him so far.

    Playing well. Controlled football so far. Wish people would stop shouting shoot every time we build up for more than 30 seconds though.

    MR interview just now, saying Gus wanted to go, and that the funds may allow us to get the 3 or 4 we want. Doug saying not a surprise Vik went, a little more surprised at Gus as he loves the club but he's 26 and wants to progress.

    What’s it all about?

    I remember reading a fascinating article about the dancing plague, in which hundreds of people supposedly died due to a dancing frenzy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_plague_of_1518 The modern-day explosion in the number of trans identifying people reminds me of this - it's a form of...

    Things that annoy you

    I moved from the home I'd lived in for 15 years because the new neighbours insisted on playing utterly shit music at all hours, then argued loudly at 3am every other day waking us all up. It's horrible when you live next to people who have fuck all consideration for others. Luckily we landed on...

    Hopefully others can see and feel the potential in the team, and I'm quite excited about the future, however, I suspect that we're going to continue to struggle for a few games until we find our feet, so I'm going for a 1-1 on this one.

    Haven't read this thread yet so no idea what people have said, but I thought we played really well for the most part, just ran out of steam near the end. Thought the new guys at the back looked really good, Simms was a little clumsy but there's bags of potential there, and the subs weren't...
